The Artfest Film and Television Procurement division will be lead by Bruce Scambler, Certified Public Accountant and renowned Artist. "The IRS has created an incredible opportunity for growing companies like Artfest through the AJCA and specifically, IRS Section 181. We are able to raise up to 15 million dollars for Art Channel Networks and offer Investors a 100% tax write off," stated Scambler.

Art Channel currently broadcasts the television show, "Artfest Presents," to over 20 million viewers in 218 markets nationwide, including the top 10 major independent TV markets such as Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Washington, DC. The show presents a montage of footage from the Company's historical files, including member testimonials. In addition, viewers enjoy series featuring Pat Green, Cory Morrow, Jack Ingram, Reckless Kelly along with interviews with artists such as Aubree-Anna, live painting segments and art collections.

The AJCA of 2004 enables Art Channel to expand its program offerings on television and to develop film projects as well. Art Channel expects that the AJCA will rapidly expand the host of artists and program offerings the Company currently produces and broadcasts due to the 100% tax credit for all involved investors.

Art Channel broadcasts family entertainment, movies, series, sports, music and lifestyle programming via Internet, satellite and cable, full power and low power distribution to over 20 million viewers. The network provides a creative outlet for many artists, filmmakers and songwriters.
